The US and it's vassal states tried to bury the ICJ ruling with their fake UNRWA story hoping to distract. Hopefully it won't last

It only has to last until the Palestinians are all dead.

What a nightmare world.

At the current rate, that will never happen. 20'000 in 2 months. If they wanted to actually kill them intentionally in masses, they would have done so. The numbers, mind you those from Hamas itself, say otherwise.

They're starving the whole Gaza strip you fucking Nazi

[–] Bipta@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure the number was higher than 20,000 last time I checked, and starvation usually takes its toll on wide swaths at once.

I am really curious how you would feel if you were on the other side of the fence, living in a makeshift tent and struggling to provide food for your baby.

I am sure you would have different thoughts and not so warm thoughts towards Israel. But it is all different from the comfort of your couch.
